WindowBlinds 7.4 Update

Island Dog

A new update for WindowBlinds 7 has been released today. WindowBlinds lets you change the look and feel of the Windows user interface with thousands of skins that are available from sites like WinCustomize.com.

KVIrc - Black scrollbar resolved along with some other issues linked to the QT framework. Unfortunately apps using this framework may end up with strange mouseover issues where the previous skin images are used on mouseovers for a while. This is not a WindowBlinds issue. It also has menu text colour issues. The QT changes should impact any other app that also uses this framework such as the TeamSpeak 3 client.

Total Commander - The black menu bar items are now resolved

Photoshop Elements - tweaks to sort out a cosmetic non maximized window issue and seperators in their menus painting light when the rest is dark.

Yahoo Messenger - The correct theme is now used on the frames

uTorrent- An issue with buttons not positioning correctly when the add link window is expanded / collapsed has been worked around

Alcohol 120% - WB enforces strict Vista rules on the menus now

Automatic detection of custom menus that use the new menu theme parts added and strict Vista menu rules are forced on the application when this is detected.

The mouseover animated flash now applies to readonly combo boxes as well as buttons and toolbars.

IE9 should now support the use of the Web scrollbar sections where defined

IE9 groupboxes in webpages tweaked to match the style closer

CCCleaner - Small tweak to alter margins on header bars to prevent text on headers ending ... when there was enough space.

Thunderbird - Small tweak to add a line gap between the attached files list border and the selection box of any files attached.

IE9 on Vista - The second apply of a UIS2/PerPixel theme will no longer cause the tabs to vanish if IE is closed and reopened.

Keyboard selected items in explorer will now show with a selection image for all themes.

Menu padding settings no longer impact the menu bar itself.

Activation will request elevation (if required) -Some tweaks to the default themes included with WB

The-Reaper-Manreply 11Mine did not update properly through Stardock Central. I had to go to the Stardock Store and download it. Then it installed properly to version 7.4. vwaldbrunnreply 12The same here (Win 7 64bit) What happened when you tried? Errors? Explosions? Nothing?

No explosion but error message "could not install silently, please go to download folder and install manually", then prompt to reboot. After that I did a clean install and that it was. May be my fault not to unload WindowBlinds before starting Stardock Central?

No errors, although I did hear a couple of explosions It just said it was still version 7.3 (Vista 32bit) The Stardock Store version took much longer to install but it at least upgraded me to 7.4.

Ya the store install runs that alcs or acls (whichever it is) routine that sets the permissions on all the files in the skins directory. It can take awhile if there are a lot of skins and it runs silent - I thought the install had hung until I opened up task manager to see what was going on. But it works as long as you wait for it.
